Watch and be amazed at how the power lights up that small LED

Kickstarter is playing host to another unusual but cool project, namely that of a roller-ball pen that can draw circuits on pretty much anything.

Instead of the normal type of ink or gel, it is filled with conductive silver ink that doesn't need any drying time.

Powering simple LEDs by folding a doodled piece of paper over a battery is possible now, and you can even draw circuits for your Arduino project instead of buying circuit breadboards.

And all this comes for $20, assuming you're willing to drop by Kickstarter and leave a pledge there.

Given the potential usefulness of the Circuit Scribe, I have little doubt the funding goal of $85,000 / €62,000 will be reached, especially since $68,000 / €50 have already been gathered after just 2 days.

A bit more and you can even get a set of simple electronic components, a play set as it were. If your kid's past the age where he or she tries to swallow everything, it could be a good but also fun learning tool.
